My life's purpose is to cultivate and share collective knowledge for the creation of a balanced and healthy world. I am dedicated to challenging conventional thinking and collectively combating climate change. I firmly believe that true change begins at the community, neighborhood, and city levels—wherever individuals feel a sense of belonging.Envision a community characterized by genuine prosperity, where everyone has access to a home, nutritious food, clean water and air, free education, and healthcare. A place where people prioritize happiness and personal fulfillment over the profitability of their pursuits. Wouldn't you want to be a part of such a community?As a child, I witnessed the impact of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown, an experience that instilled in me a deep appreciation for positive innovations that allow us to thrive without exploiting others or our Earth. I channel my passion as a green architect, permaculture designer, researcher, educator, and impact investor, continually pushing the boundaries of sustainability.However, I recognized that true sustainability requires addressing root causes, particularly our prevailing monetary system. The good news is that everything can be redesigned, but the challenge lies in collective action.My current focus involves co-founding an NGO dedicated to educational learning games. These games serve as joyful tools for building capacities, making complex issues tangible, empowering minds, promoting understanding of the new economy, challenging existing norms, and fostering interconnectivity.Additionally, I co-host a podcast with my husband, Mel, where we introduce listeners to individuals who are making a positive difference in the world.
